Bailey and Moji are sweet, sweet girls. They must be adopted together. Both pets are very shy when meeting new people, and bark when strangers are in the house. It took Bailey 6 months to allow my husband to pet her. She loved me and our 7 year old son immediately. Moji is a bit braver, accepting my husband within 2 weeks. Moji and Bailey need a very specific household where they will be the center of attention. They love to give kisses and snuggle. They will sit on your lap for hours. Moji loves to chase toys and will usually bring them back to you. Sometimes, she requires you to fetch for her. It is tough to take them on walks ... (Read More)because they are terrified of strangers. They do not like to go in the yard without their humans and do have accidents in the house. They are friendly with our cats as long as the cats are not running. Once the cats run, the dogs will chase, but give up once the cats are out of sight. We're looking for a home where the dogs are free to run around and a person is usually home to play with them. The perfect owner will enjoy non-stop doggie kisses and love them like family, not just dogs. (Less)

Wade is a pug mix who came to the rescue through a shelter. He was found stray and probably was stray for quite some time. After evaluating his eyes, teeth, etc, our veterinarian estimates that he is 10 years old. When he came into the shelter he had a severe flea infectation. The fleas were eliminated but he had significant fur loss as a result. He also needed a dental to fix some teeth and clean them up. After a few weeks of medications, his hair has returned and he has almost completed all of his medical treatments! He is heartworm negative, current on vaccines, current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, microchipped and will ... (Read More)soon be ready for his forever family! Wade was stray for a long time and looks like he was never very well socialized. He has had to learn to accept affection appropriately and how to be a house pet. He started out fearful of attention and care. At this point, he lets his foster mom pick him up, carry him around, pet him, give him kisses, trim his nails, etc! When he does find that perfect home, they are going to need to be patient with him as it can take a little while for him to settle in and trust his new family. He is fine with cats and is okay with other small dogs. He doesn't want to snuggle or play with them but if the dog is mellow, he is fine with them. He does not like very active or playful dogs. He is mostly housetrained as long as he is kept on his schedule and he eats a regular diet. He loves a good nap and has several beds that he has made all his own and can almost always be found snuggled in either sleeping or observing what is going on around him. The ideal home for Wade right now would be a home either no other pets, or very mellow pets and if there are children, they need to be old enough to understand the right way to pick up and hold Wade. He needs a family who is willing to give him the time it takes to adjust to a new environment. He really is a sweetheart and will make any family very happy! if you are interested in more information or adopting please visit our website www.midatlanticpugrescue.org. (Less)

Rico Suave is a 12-year-old Chihuahua that is in need of a loving home with one or two adults, no children. Rico was perfectly content with his mommy and daddy until they decided to have human children. He doesn't do great with children mainly due to the fact they tower over him. He loves cuddling at night under the covers. His favorite time of the day is breakfast and dinner. Otherwise he mostly keeps to himself. He loves laying in the sun until he has to be dragged inside. Every now and then he gets a burst of energy and will play, otherwise mostly chills. Most people think it's a puppy because he has decent energy levels. And he ... (Read More)loves to be walked! Unfortunately, given the situation with the two human children and a move in late July from the east coast to the west coast, we think Rico would enjoy finding a home near his current residence. An adoption by a fellow Senior would be perfect - he needs a stable environment! (Less)

Chihuahua Dogs can make good pets in Virginia if they match your IifestyIe. Chihuahuas are high strung, yappy, tiny dogs. Chihuahuas are loyal to the point of possessiveness and obsession with their masters. Chihuahuas are bold, high energy dogs that make wonderful companions for their owners but are suspicious of strangers. Chihuahuas are not well suited to families with children due to the dogs' defensiveness and tendency to snap when provoked. Chihuahuas need to be thoroughly socialized. Despite their small size, Chihuahuas are often aggressive with other dogs. Chihuahuas do fine living in an apartment but need plenty of daily exercise.
